How to become a TWB Verified Translator?

[idoebold]

Hello,
I took the test for three language pairs back in March, and was wondering if you could give me an update on the results?
My proz profile link is: English to Spanish / German translator
Thank you for your time!

Hi @idoebold

Thanks for following up!

Unfortunately, your tests haven’t been reviewed yet. However, I’ll reach out to one of our volunteer reviewers to have your tests fast-tracked

Sorry about the wait, Isabel! Thanks for your patience

Hi @Silvia_Mauri and @charlotte1,

I hope you are doing well!

I’m asking about the result of my Arabic test! Is there any news?

It’s done few months ago and I didn’t receive any result yet!

Kind regards,
Dalia

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @Dalia1, thanks for reaching out and for following up on your test!

I’ve just sent you an email with all detailed information

Thanks for your patience and support, Dalia

I will check it now! Thank you so much!

Kind regards,
Dalia

How can apply for the test???

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @miguebello, firstly, welcome to the TWB community!

We no longer offer our volunteers the option to take a translation test to become verified. This is because we believe that the verification system we had in place is no longer sustainable for the size of our community.

However, you can still become a Verified Translator! You still have access to most tasks available in your language pair. You can find out more about how to become verified in the thread’s description at the top of the page

We believe this system will grant a more meaningful and rewarding experience to all volunteers and it will allow unverified translators to work more on actual tasks and projects.

Thank you for your understanding and support, Miguel! Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Hi @Cathie_Delouya

Thanks for following up on your test! I’d be happy to look into it if you could provide your Proz ID number?

This is the number at the end of your Proz profile URL

In the meantime, you still have access to tasks available in your language pairs!

Hi @Cathie_Delouya

Unfortunately, your test hasn’t been reviewed yet! I’ll reach out to one of our volunteer reviewers to ask them to fast-track your test

We’ll get back to you as soon as it’s been reviewed!

Thank you all for your efforts in helping us become verified translators
I hope to become a verified translator in more of my working pairs, so I’ll be sure to follow the steps necessary

[Silvia_Mauri]

Thank you, @kate! I hope you’ll be able to find many tasks that interest you

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions

Hello everyone here hope you are doing well
Would like to know how long it takes to get a feedback to a given task submitted,
Because I already submit many tasks unfortunately I have not yet receive any reviews or feedback.

Can you know the reason?

[Lilav_Alarashi]

Hello @musevenifreddy001,

Congratulations on completing and submitting your tasks successfully.

Leaving feedback on translation tasks is not obligatory, so you will find so many translation tasks had been reviewed without any feedback.

However, TWB encourages volunteer reviewers to leave their feedback.

And if you’d like to view the feedback you received about a translation you completed, here are a few steps, you can go to (Claimed Tasks) on your account page and select (Complete) in the (Task Status) menu. There you will see (Task Reviews) for each task you’ve completed or you can (download the Revised version).

That’s all I know ,or our kind @Silvia_Mauri may correct what I mentioned above if I am wrong.

I hope you will find this helpful!

Best regards. Lilav.

Thank you @Lilav
For guiding me

hi all

i just thought of something for the staff consideration

perhaps there could be a pop-up window asking users if they wish to leave feedback for the revision task they’ve just submitted

thanks

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @musevenifreddy001, thanks for your message, that’s a good question

I can only confirm what the kind @Lilav_Alarashi mentioned, she is right on all accounts

I am sorry you haven’t received many reviews yet - as Lilav said, we always encourage our volunteer translators to leave feedback on the translations they review, so I hope you’ll receive some in the future.

Thank you for your support, Museveni

[Silvia_Mauri]

Hi @soke35, that’s a good point!

All reviewers receive an email inviting them to leave feedback on the translation reviewed, but we could definitely take into consideration a different kind of communicating this

Thanks for your input!

Hi everyone, as you can see I have a high score. Can I now become a verified translator? And how is it done?

[mariem.ichentane]

@charlotte1

We no longer offer the option to take a translation test to become verified! This is because we believe that the verification system we have in place is no longer sustainable for the size of our community.

However, you can still become a Kató Verified Translator! You still have access to most tasks available in your language pair.

There are two main ways to become verified. You can become verified thanks to the reviews you receive of the work you submit, or you can become verified if you have certifications from any of our list of associations or organizations

i have a warning saying I’m not authorized to view the task each time i try to do a task and i don’t have any certification from the organizations you have mentioned. what should i do?
